Body proves Bigfoot no myth

[Doomsday101]

(CNN) -- A policeman and a former corrections officer say that on Friday they will unveil evidence of what they claim is their biggest find ever: the body of Bigfoot.

Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, a pair of Bigfoot-hunting hobbyists from north Georgia, say they found the creature's body in a wooded area and spotted several similar creatures that were still alive.

The carcass of the furry half-man, half-ape is 7 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs more than 500 pounds, they say. However, the two are not disclosing the exact location of their discovery to protect the remaining creatures.

Tom Nelson, chairman of the biology department at North Georgia College and State University in Dahlonega, said he's "pretty skeptical" the world will feast its eyes on a new species Friday.

"That would certainly rock mammalogy," joked Nelson, who specializes in the study of mammals. "I see a research grant in my future."

Whitton and Dyer plan to unveil what they say is DNA and photo evidence of the discovery in Palo Alto, California, in conjunction with a group called Searching for Bigfoot Inc.

A photograph on that group's Web site shows what appears to be the body of a large, hairy creature with an ape-like face, stuffed into a large freezer.

According to a written release, the two announced the discovery on an Internet radio show, "Squatch Detective," several weeks ago.

"The only person we would allow to come down and verify the body was 'the Real Bigfoot Hunter,' Tom Biscardi," Dyer said, referring to Searching for Bigfoot's CEO, who has been looking for the elusive, legendary creature in the United States and Canada since 1971.

Whitton is a Georgia police officer who is on administrative leave after being shot in the wrist during a pursuit. Dyer is a former prison guard.

DNA tests on the body have begun, said the statement, and "extensive scientific studies" will be done on the body by scientists, including a molecular biologist, an anthropologist and a paleontologist.

Nelson, the university professor, acknowledged that new species of animals have been discovered in recent decades and that, in science, "we always acknowledge the possibility of something new."

But he said that even in north Georgia, home to the Blue Ridge Mountains and the foot of the Appalachian Trail, it stretches the imagination to think a family of 7-foot-tall creatures could have eluded hunters, hikers and creeping development until now.

"To the average person, these places just seem like extreme wilderness where you'll find lions and tigers and bears," he said. "The reality is that you're never more than a mile from a road."

The group says the animal is male, has reddish hair and "blackish-gray" eyes and human-like feet, hands and teeth.

Someone also posted a link that it was a hoax.

I knew it was a hoax as soon as I seen it, because my wife is still at home in WV.

CNN reported on it this morning and evidently there is a scheduled press conference that will be held. I don't know if I really believe in Bigfoot or men from outer space picking up rednecks and California flakes for experimentation then again nothing surprises me anymore.

Are you insinuating that Bigfoot is nothing more than the love child of space aliens and the humans they probe?

Not until you just mentioned it.

Just saying I'm a seeing is believing kind of guy when it comes to these types of things.

The link that was posted that "proved it was a hoax" was to another bigfoot board.

So you have some bigfoot crazies calling other bigfoot crazies phonies.

The proof was that it looked like a bigfoot suit that was being sold.


Obviously this is all bullcrap .... .but I do not see how some bigfoot crazies are any more believable than others.....

Why would anyone wait this long to call a press conference ? Lets see they have pushed there T shirts (cough cough) selling them on there site.

Selling near encounter tours (cough cough)

Yet they wait months after finding Big Foot to now reveal it when the day you found a real body and you had the national media out there that day you have scientist; museum and university banging down your door trying to buy it from you for millions.

Instead you market your tshirts

If that does not say hoax nothing does
